The Christmas Dinner Thread

BB3Lions

Stuck in blighty this year so told my parents I'll cook & they can come around.

Roast chicken/veg/potatoes with stuffing, Yorkshire's.  Might try a brandy marinade.

Is it my imagination or do we have this thread every year

(Starting a bit earlier each year, of course!)

Not sure. But you can never have enough food chat.

IronGiant

Pretty much.  But this year it's special/different.  

DIYlady

Oh yes, that's why we have a food forum

Flashy

Mimosas are 50/50 Champagne and orange juice, while Buck's Fizz is two parts Champagne to one part orange juice.

(Even as I typed that I thought I sounded like a right old pedantic wotsit... As if anyone should be measuring properly on Christmas Day. Or, indeed, any day.)

But, this year, we don't have the Food Grinch

This one. You'll need a large food grade plastic bucket for the part where you add the gallon of iced water.

Going to have picky pits in Orlando on Xmas day.

But....we're each having exactly what we ideally want the week previous in the UK, so I've chosen to have a Chicken Dhansak with special fried rice, onion bhajee and a Peshwari naan from my favourite local take away.

No starter, but will be having Eggs Benedict for brekkie.

I don't do Xmas really anymore. I might put the small fibre optic tree up for a week odd but that'll be it.

Thanks nabby.
